b'vibrant colour brings a fun elementLisa Brook of Urban Habitat suggests this alternative scheme:The room is designed around the fireplace, which has been painted inResene Spotlight for a contemporary edge. Vibrant splashes of colour have been added to the room to make it fresh, youthful and fun. Adding a roman blind and voiles at ceiling height visually increases the window size and the oversized mirror in the alcove reflects light coming through the window. Painting the walls in Resene White keeps the space lightand airy, while the modular sofa and casual floor cushions allow for plenty of seating in this compact space. Side tables and a rug add contemporary elements to contrast the traditional style of the fireplace. The ornate chandelier, distressed metallic mirror and soft voiles add vintage romance and some fun and funky pink accessories matched to Resene Smitten and Resene Bambina add a final burst of colour in this modernist yet traditional scheme.mobile021 558 794 emaillisa@urban-habitat.co.nzReseneHalf Thorndon Cream Damasco chandelierAccent Lighting www.accentlighting.co.nzJapanese Dolls cushionBolt of Cloth www.boltofcloth.comResene Artic Daisy (Frost) WhiteDesigner RugsResene Smittenwww.designerrugs.co.nz09 300 6116Resene BambinaBlack tempered glass table setIconic illustration www.iconic.co.nz Resene Malcolm White 09 480 8386 KandinskyCharles sofaMatisse International Furniture www.matisse.co.nz47'
